l Shirl SHIRLEY E. MATTHIAS Commercial Littlgstclgwrg Pa. Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Twirling Club 3, 4: Athletic Association 45 County Band 8, 4. Shirley is that senior girl who can boast of having the long- est hair in the class. We can't say the same for her ideas for they are as modern as those of the best of us. She may seem to have a quiet nature but she can find plenty to talk about when she's in the mood. She has been a reliable member of the high school band playing second clarinet. Shirley can be proud of her school record for she has been a good student with an ex- cellent attendance record. On Sunday nights she has often been seen driving that green Chevie towards Westminster to see a good show. She is undecided about her future but in whatever she engages we wish her happiness. Wib WILBUR I. MAYERS Industrial Arts 347 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa. Soccer Manager 4: Band 45 Senior Fire Patrol 4: Home Ec. C lub 35 Atl: letic Club 4: Operetta 1. If you happen to hear a loud boom don't be alarmedfor it's only Wib beating his bass drum. Besides being a mem- ber of the band he is interested in sports having been manager of the soccer- team this year. Wib is one of our most in- dustrious 'shop students as he even has a wood working shop of his own and works for his uncle in the upholstery business. Last year he won the title of Van Johnson for being the neatest boy in L. H. S. and we know this good habit will benefit him throughout life. Every 'Friday and Saturday night he can be seen going down Prince Street to see a lassie known to us as Janet, After graduation he hopesrto continue with his shop and in the near future start a business of his own. With oh's and ah's L. H. S. bids farewell to its Van Johnson. J'Erma E ERIVIA 'V'. Commercial 408 S. Queen Street Littlestown, Pa. Glee 'Club 3, 4, Library Club :sg Camera Club 4. A . - Do you want to meet a quiet senior? Well, here's Erma, the:-type of girl we are sure Mr. Stavely wishes he had more of in homeroom. This is the young lady who usually handled the money around school. This bit of conversation was not unusual in Mr. Stavely's study halls. Now Erma in about ten minutes you can take the money to the bank. Then away she went with it safely tucked under her arm. Working gal-yes sir-ree --one of the Windsor shoe employees-and after work a tan Dodge waiting with a guy named Ray who goes with it to wisp her away home at the end of Baltimore Street. Erma, may luck of the Irish and the good fortune of a rabbit's foot be yours! Reds CHARLOTTE L. MOTTER Academic Littlgstcbwrg Pa. Operetta 1, 2, 3, 49 County Chorus 4g Majorette 3, 4: Basketball Man- ager 3, 49 Twirling Club 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4, Athletic Association 4. 4 Look at the majorette of the L. H. S. band! Time to pause for a long low whistle. Yes, Charlotte really looked neat leading the band with her high stepping and fancy twirling. Reds fthe only one in the classy doesn't display the temper her hair seems to suggest but is a jolly, fun loving kid especially in P. O. D. fand, oh, some of the capers she cut back in that cornerlj As the girls' basketball manager she was on the ball and her score keeping will be missed in the future. With her ability to get along with children we'll probably be sending our kids to schoolma'rm Motter some day. Good luck in the teach- ing profession! N ineleen

Kliney HYLDA C. KLINEFELTER Academic Gettryisbgrg, Pa. . . 5 ' Dramatic Club 2: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Band 1, 2, 3, 4: Typing Club 3g Library Club 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Assistant Editor of The Littonian 4: District Chorus 4: County Band 3, 4: County Chorus 2, 3, 4: Student Librarian 4. ' Hi 'ya Doc ! This is what we'll probably be saying to this young lady sometime in the future. Hylda, who is ambi- tious and very intelligent as you know when you take a glance at all those A's on her report card,- has set a high goal for her- self, aspiring to be a doctor. But it isn't all work and no play either for she is very musically inclined charming many with her lovely soprano voice. Remember the Forensic Contest and the Cantique de Noel? Playing the trumpet and piano accord- ian is right down her alley too. Though the medical career may have its obstacles, we know she'll tackle it with the same victorious spirit she did her studies. Go to it, Hylda! ,. Dot DOROTHY LEE KNIGHT Commercial 22 Newark Street Littlestown, Pa. Basketball 1, 2, 3: Senior Play 4: High School Play 2, 4: Dramatic Club 39- Camera Club 4: Softball 3: Operetta 1, 2, 3: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: County Chorus 4: Athletic Association 4. Three out of five days is often the attendance record for Dot at school. If we gazed through a window of 101 she could often be seen strolling leisurely along without a worry in the world even though the bell rang long before. Dot has been very active in the dramatic field. Whenever there was a play and this small dark-haired girl appeared on the stage the au- dience was spellbound. This mighty mite likes sports and spends most of her leisure time going round and round on wheels. Another main interest is a certain boy from Thur- mont who visits Newark Street regularly. Whether she chooses to be an air hostess or a housewife we wish her lots of luck. Josie JOSEPHINE M, LIPPY Commercial Littlleftmbwni Pa. Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3: Orchestra 2, 3, 4: Library Club 3: Athletic Association 4. Who is that hopping off the school bus? Why it's Josie who hails from Kingsdale way. Josephine spent a lot of time in the Typing Room where she pounded that typewriter for dear life. Some people might call her quiet and shy but they don't keep that opinion for long because she can rattle on like the best of us. Maybe you've seen this girl bowing the violin in orchestra? Well, that's Josie and her violin will certainly be missed next year. She wants to continue her commercial studies and plans to enroll in a Baltimore business school. May success be hers! Mac SHIRLEY M. MACKLEY Academic 158 E. King Street Littlestown, Pa.

The dark haired lass seen crossing the playground, and, maybe the lawn on a windy day with her sophomore nieghbor, is our friend Mac, On entering the building she could be seen busily hurrying and scurrying in the corridor to a journal- ism meeting or the library where every thing was in ship shape order when she sat behind the desk acting as student librarian. Some day in the future we hope to see her sitting behind another kind of desk with a white cap on her head-this time act1ng,as head nurse. To this senior lass we sa adios and with that cheery personality know she will do welllas a R. N. .Eighteen

Where's Ruthie ? Oh, there she is behind the candy case selling candy for all she's worth! Ruth happens to be one of the smallest girls in her class. In her junior year, her neat dress and personality aided her in winning the title of Miss ,Iune Allyson of L. H. S. She has also proved efficient as class treasurer during her four years at L. H. S. and has been successful in her secretarial work for Mrs. Walker. Not only is she sharp in French but she can beat out a mean tune on her typewriter as well. Ruthie may your happy smile cheer others as it has cheered us. Mats MADALINE C. PLUNKERT Academic Littlfftgvni Pa. Basketball 2, 3, 4: Volley Ball 3: Band 1: Student Librarian 2, 3, 4: Senior Play 4: Operetta 1, 2, 3, 4: Typing Club 3, 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Athletic As- sociation 4: Monogram Club 3. Did you hear that giggle at the other end of the hall? Well, you can be pretty sure it was Matsy, the happy-go-lucky of the senior class. She is well liked by everyone and is usually seen with a certain other senior girl. If Mats is not seen at the Rainbow, she can probably be found driving her '37 Chevie to Haines. She has participated in a number of activities but her chief interest was basketball. Mats can also look on the serious side of life and her ambition is to be a nurse. We feel sure that Matsy will have little trouble preparing for this pro- fession and best wishes are extended in her endeavors. Abie EARL A. REBERT Industrial Arts 210 M Street Littlestown, Pa. Basketball Manager 3, 4: Baseball 2, 3, 4: Operetta 2: Glee Club 2, 3, 4: Soccer 4: County Chorus 4: Home Ec. Club 3, 4. Do you want to know anything about a tractor? If you do, just ask Abe who knows about the gadgets on a Farmall. Abie has been a super manager of the Thunderbolt basketball team and helped to bring in those points in the intramural bask- etball games. He could always be seen working away right before a play hurrying to get the scenery done on time. In fact thats' about the only time we saw him hurry because he usually takes life very calmly especially getting up early in the morn- ing. Abie is one of the students to whom the adviser dropped a few reminders to be on time. The class of '47 sends him on with best wishes. Johnny JOHN A. REBERT Commercial Littlgtown, Pa. . D. 1 Class Oflicer Csecretaryl 1, fpresidentj 2, 3: Operetta 1, 4: Dramatic Club 2, 3: Business Manager of Littonian 4: Camera Club 4: Glee Club 2, 3, 4. This blonde senior who wears the red coat that clashes with a certain female's in the junior class and a guy who has a kind word for everybody is our Johnny. During his fresh- man and sophomore year he was somewhat quiet and easy going but man the last two years found Johnny every- where. He is the fellow who made the Commercial Room sound like a machine gun nest and who can type faster than Iturbi could play Polonaise in A Hat. John has a way of making friends and is popular with every one as we observed during the noon hour when he had a flock of females around him. Johnny plans to attend Shippensburg to prepare for teaching. We know he will be a great success and he deserves it! Twenty
